Forum won't load on my iPhone?

We don't know currently, and I doubt it is something we will solve before SDCC. This is our current solution.

Okay, Julius. That's a fair answer.

I totally get that with SDCC right around the corner, this isn't going to be fixed this week, and I'm not here to complain that it should.

I just thought that I'd throw out there that I just bought a new Transformer TF300T, and neither the stock browser nor Dolphin HD can make this site work. I did get one prompt for the forum software, but I hit cancel before I knew what was happening.

I'd like to cast my vote for making sure the site works on a regular browser over forcing the use of a special app to work through stuff. Again, I'm aware and respectful of Julius' answer above; I'm just putting my two-cents in for when this issue is addressed/reconsidered.

I also can't find the free version of Forum Runner on Android. There's a $2 one and then a TON of versions of FR that seem to be customized for specific sites.

Not nagging; I'm just posting what I see when I see it so I don't forget.

To those of you who can't get the AFI forums to load on your phone, have you tried Firefox's mobile browser? I like to use Forum Runner on my phone, but I downloaded Firefox's mobile browser and tried it out and I was able to access the forums with it (the regular browser on my phone doesn't work, so Firefox is doing something different). I don't know if Iphones have this option, but it should be another cheap and easy option for droids.

Thanks for that tip, Matt. Just another reason to love Firefox.

Also - just got word from ForumRunner.com that they no longer offer free versions of their mobile app (iOS or Android)

No Firefox on ICS or JB as of yet. I often read the forums on my tablet.

So Peter did make a few changes the other day and so far they have worked for me on my iphone. But you have to go in a clear your history first for it to take effect. Settings -> Safari -> Clear History (I also did Clear cookies and data).

For those with idevices having issues give that a try.

I did as Julius suggests (cleared my history) and tried this using the stock ICS browser. The forums are loading wonderfully. Thanks, guys!

I did both and I'm still getting the error.

This is still not working for me over 3G. I've done everything I could possibly do to clear settings and the like. Nothing works.

Mine wasn't working for some time, either, but now works just fine, as I am posting this from my phone right now!

Shellhead · **Posted:** Mon Aug 27, 2012 7:55 am

Mine still doesn't work.

I have a 3G Droid.

Must be the carrier. I'm on a iPhone 4s, 4G.

I use an iPhone 4 on both 3G and WiFi.

I have never had a problem accessing or using the forums on my phone.
